A person elected to the office of president one full term before serving as president.

A person elected to the office of president one full term before serving as president.

• A. Vice President
• B. Secretary
• C. President-elect
• D. Chair

Answer: (C)

The main idea here is recognizing the term used for someone who has been elected to the presidency but has not yet begun serving. That person is called the president-elect. Being elected to the office of president signals future service, but until they actually take office, they hold the title president-elect. The other options refer to different roles: the vice president is a separate office and is not the designation for someone elected to the presidency; a secretary handles record-keeping and other duties, not the presidency; and a chair is the person who presides over a meeting, not the elected head of the organization.
